Experiential Requirements You have at least 7 years of experience as a software engineer with maybe 2 years of full stack Rails experience; you know 3.2.x, up/down/inside and out You aren’t afraid of SQL queries – after all, most applications have a database (we use Postgres) Your past projects might include web applications, content management systems, mobile apps, ecommerce sites and learning management systems You have a passion for delivering high performing, well-architected software that is easy to maintain You thrive in an environment where “what if” is commonplace and feel confined when the rules are already set in stone You have worked in an early-stage company so you know what it means to shift priorities and wear a bunch of hats Open Source tools are your preferred sandbox You are an organized professional capable of managing your time, tasks and activities without daily guidance You have a talent for making sense out of obscurity – you immediately begin executing concepts in your mind the moment someone has an idea Building strong and long-standing relationships is an important part of your being
